Chapter 135: The Thief
Morning, Chen's house.
Because it was summer vacation, both John and Amanda slept late.
If it weren't for Bessie's threat to deduct a dollar from pocket money for one more minute of bedriding, I'm afraid the two of them would have been able to sleep from morning to afternoon.
"Mindy, what kind of dream did you have last night, did you pick up the money, and I didn't see your mouth closed all morning?"
"I dreamed of a handsome guy, how about it, much more handsome than Jeremy."
"Jeremy, do you hear me, someone is saying bad things about you."
Sun Wukong smiled and didn't answer, just eating his breakfast.
He got up quite early, but he got up early in the morning to start a round of cultivation and then study the scepter. I didn't stop until it was time for breakfast.
"Mom, I'm going to hang out with some friends today."
"What friends, where to play, and for how long?"
"It's the ones you usually play with, you've seen it. Just go around and be sure to come back before dinner. ”
"Don't go to a place that is too remote, it's not safe. Also, remember, be sure to come back before dinner, or you won't be thinking about where to go next time. ”
With the passage of time, more than a month after the Manhattan superheroes vs. aliens, it was gradually forgotten by many people. Many of the children's lockdowns have been lifted, like Amanda, who was confined to her home for more than a month.
Actually, it's not that you can't go out, it's just that you can't go far. Manhattan, for example, is a forbidden place, and the Brooklyn Bridge must never be crossed. As for the one that went the farthest. It is to go to the supermarket with Betsy to buy ingredients and other daily necessities.
After spending so much time at home, Amanda felt like she was about to get moldy. So as soon as she came into contact with the lockdown order, she immediately made an appointment with a few friends through the guò network, ready to go out and have a crazy game.
As for John, he doesn't have many friends and is a veritable otaku. My biggest hobby is hiding in my room and playing games. Aliens invaded Earth, except for the surprise at first. After that, I threw myself into the virtual game of Infinite I Am a Hero.
"Of course, Mom, you're the boss. And isn't there Jeremy. Our superhero, even if something happens, I'll be fine. Amanda replied with a grin.
"Amanda, have you forgotten my words?" As soon as Bessie heard the words "superhero". Immediately sank his face.
"I'm sorry. Mom. Amanda stuck out her little tongue apologetically and said, "Don't worry, I'm just talking at home, and when I go out of the house, I'll use my mouth as a zipper." ”
After the Battle of Manhattan, Betsy and the others already know that the Monkey King is one of the superheroes who saved Manhattan. In fact, even if Sun Wukong doesn't say it. They can all guess a thing or two. After all, so many major events that happened before were solved by Sun Wukong.
In order to protect the Monkey King. Betsy and Justin gave a very solemn ban, and the family knew about it, but it was absolutely not allowed for more other people to know. So although John and Amanda are very excited that there is a superhero in their family, they can only keep this secret and not spit out a word.
Even, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, try not to mention the words "superhero".
When he was about to leave the studio to continue his research work on the scepter, Sun Wukong drove his own car, an old Ford worth three hundred and twenty dollars. The appearance is rough and old, but if it is used for transportation, Sun Wukong feels good.
"Do you need me to send you?" Amanda was also about to go out, so Sun Wukong asked casually.
Amanda glanced at his old ford with a disdainful gaze, and then asked rhetorically, "How can you use such a muscle car to invite a young and beautiful lady?" Aren't you a superhero, you should be rich, buy Lincoln. ”
Call!
Then Sun Wukong drove his old Ford, passed by Amanda, and walked away.
"Invite the lady to the car, can't you be patient, what a stingy guy." Amanda, who was dressed in fancy clothes, stomped her feet behind and said with a hint of inexplicable grievance and hatred.
"Amanda, be careful of stomping your heels." This scene made John see it, and he laughed.
"I'm not wearing high heels, so I'm going to let you meddle."
"The heels are almost over 2 inches."
"It's a pity that in my eyes, heels that don't exceed 3 inches are not high heels."
……
Without carrying Amanda, Monkey King soon arrived at the studio.
It's just that when he walked into the studio, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Peter, Harry, Mindy, Max, and Aiden were all there, sitting or standing, solemn expressions, discussing something.
"Jeremy, you're just in time, we're looking for you." Peter saw Sun Wukong coming, his face was slightly happy, and he said.
"Peter, has something happened?" Sun Wukong asked, put down the piano box on his back, and the piano box contained Loki's scepter.
"We've had other people in our studio." Peter replied.
"Trespassed?" Sun Wukong said.
"Yes."
"Have you found out who it is?"
"Not yet."
"Aiden, did you find anything on your monitor?"
Aiden's surveillance system works 24 hours a day, and the monitoring range is located in every corner of the entire studio, 350 degrees without dead ends. As long as the surveillance system is not breached, it is absolutely impossible to escape the monitor's cameras once someone comes in.
"I'm looking through the surveillance footage." Aiden replied, "You can go to the computer room and take a look." ”
After everyone entered the computer room, Aiden operated the machine and transferred the picture to the central large screen, so that everyone could see it clearly.
"Outside the studio, no suspicious people or objects were found nearby, how did he get in? Wait, there's a shade here. It's the shadow of a person. He climbed in through the air intake of the sunroof, and then, fuck. The monitor was jammed. ”
The monitor was jammed and no footage of the thief was captured.
Sun Wukong and the others had to check the air intake of the skylight through Guò to see if they could find any clues.
The skylight's air intake is located high above a wall, about 15 feet above the ground, and there is nothing nearby to lean onto. And on this wall, the crowd found something.
"The marks on the walls, don't they look like they were scratched by hand?" Harry pointed to the mark of the high wall below the air intake. Said.
"With such a hard wall, who can scratch out such deep finger marks with their hands?"
"Isn't it okay to have iron fingers, Iron Man can definitely do."
"Iron Man isn't going to come to us and climb walls to steal. In his Stark Mansion, there was everything. ”
Checking the vicinity of the air intakes, there was no more to be found, except for a few finger-like marks on the walls.
"Have you checked? What's missing? ”
There's a lot of stuff in the studio. There are also some valuable ones, especially in the computer room, Aiden's machines are worth millions. However, these machines are relatively large in size and are not easy to move. So what Sun Wukong asked was those small and valuable items.
"That's the weirdest part, I haven't found anything stolen yet."
"Thieves have come in and not stolen anything. Did he come to visit? ”
"Maybe it's not that nothing was stolen, it's that the thief didn't find what he wanted."
"Who the hell is so bold. Dare to sneak to our territory to steal? ”
"Relax, Max, didn't you steal something."
People who know that this place is the studio of the Freedom Alliance, light and covert, S.H.I.E.L.D. must know, they are used to monitoring all the uncontrollable factors on this planet. Sun Wukong and they set up this studio, and they didn't hide their plans, so they knew it clearly.
In addition to this, to Iron Man Tony. The Avengers, led by Stark, also knew.
For the rest, it's a secret to everyone else.
"Could it be S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Mindy asked.
"Although there is this possibility, I don't think Director Fury will do this kind of thing to lower his IQ."
"Maybe it's like the most dangerous place is the safest place, everyone thought he couldn't do such a stupid thing, but he did the opposite and did this stupid thing, so that those of us with normal intelligence would not suspect him."
"Now think about it, what is the most valuable thing we have here?"
"Of course, the most valuable thing is people." After saying this, in the face of everyone's gaze, Aiden had a natural expression and said eloquently, "Think about it, Jeremy, you are a superhero, and you are invincible all over the world, and the price is naturally the highest, so do you need to ask?" And then there's Harry, you're the CEO of Oscom, and the value of Osben doesn't need to be said. Then there's Peter, another superhero, Max, whose playing time is too short and your popularity is still relatively low. And finally, Mindy, and me. ”
"I'm talking about objects, not people."
"Actually, the most valuable one is, I think, Jeremy's circle. Even Harry's genetic disease can be suppressed, there is no second thing in this world that is so useful, and rare things are expensive. ”
"Except for a few of us, no one knows about the existence of the magic circle, talk about other things."
"Could it be a scepter?"
"Yes, Scepter. S.H.I.E.L.D. has been asking you for the scepter, but you haven't handed it over, so they can't bear it anymore, and they know they can't snatch you, so they sneak up on the door to see if they can steal it. ”
"This reason is too far-fetched, if Fury must have asked for Loki's scepter, he will definitely tell me personally."
"Maybe it's the other big names in S.H.I.E.L.D., you know, a secret agency like S.H.I.E.L.D. has different people, and there aren't too many invisible people. After all, the only one who knows that the scepter is in our hands is s.h.i.e.l.d., except for those superheroes. Most of those superheroes are people who are indifferent to fame and fortune, and they don't covet scepters. So, will there be anyone else besides S.H.I.E.L.D.? ”
"It's okay, Jeremy, you take the scepter with you every time you go back, or someone else will steal it." (To be continued......)
